VNe = 22.41 L

Explanation:

We use the ideal gas law,

PV=nRT

We know the conditions for STP are the following,

P=101.325 kPa

V=?

n=1.0 mol

R=8.314

T=273.15 K

Plug in your values.

VNe=nRTP

=(1.0mol)(8.314)(273.15)101.325

=(1.0mol)(8.314)(273.15)101.325

=2270.9691101.325

VNe = 22.41 L

This is true because the volume of an ideal gas is 22.41 L/mol at STP.
